To quote the very 1st sentence of Jane Austin’s ‘Pride and Prejudice’: “It is a truth universally acknowledged…” then I will add my own ‘truth’. So, instead of talking about ‘single men who are in possession of good fortune’, I will talk about birds. So, to continue what Ms. Austin started in her masterpiece: … that birds will do their business targeting cars in a rate proportional to the value of the car. See, they, as in the birds, will target, per capita, say, a Toyota Corolla with a lower rate than they would target a Ferrari. If you do not believe me, then get 100 Corollas and one Ferrari near some known pigeon hangouts. I bet you the discerning pigeons will go after the Ferrari, leaving the Corollas alone.
Given that ‘universal truth’, I think Lennie should be happier than other comic strip artists.
